There's no comparison between those two activities though, Daniel. When Maestro runs on my computer (1G of RAM), even just 'idling', with little onscreen activity, CPU activity is close to 100%, and memory usage typically 180M. By comparison, when a movie plays, CPU usage is only about 15% and memory usage only about 25M. MusicVR puts a far larger strain on system resources than anything else I do on my computer, actually. [I'm pretty sure this is how Trinidad managed to get Maestro to do weird things when he was posting some strange pictures a few years ago - by setting up lots of competing processes so that MVR was struggling for resources - and then using that slowdown to intervene in odd ways.]
If you open Task Manager before you start the game, you'll be able to monitor CPU and memory usage and see exactly what's going on when the program's running.
